Tomorrow is Our Taxing Day
By Franklin Price
4/14/2016

Tomorrow is our taxing day
The IRS will have its way
Unless you've filed or did extend
They'll stick it to you at the end

To get a refund you must trust
Deductions were not formed from dust
For smoke and mirrors with the forms
Could get you cells not college dorms

Do not tempt the audit man 
Of cheaters he is not a fan
If all your figures not in line
Expect at least sufficient fine

You may find you have to pay
More than you gave from day to day
Write the check and see it's sent
To pay the Senate, House and President.
